Since its inception, the MAV Cluster has been part of ACCIÓ's Catalonia Clusters Program. To be part of it, you must meet a series of requirements that guarantee professional management and adequate representation in the territory.

Being part of the program allows the MAV Cluster to obtain, among others, strategic guidance from ACCIÓ, to train the management bodies and technical staff, to network with other clusters of the Program and to access lines of exclusive financing both for the cluster and for the companies that are part of it.

The MAV Cluster is a collaborating entity of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), which gives partner companies the opportunity to benefit from the business cooperation services offered by the project, such as the search for international partners, support for internationalization, advice on taxation, procedures or free trade agreements.

The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) connects businesses in 47 countries, including the European Union. The EEN is an initiative of the European Commission created in 2008 to help SMEs to be more competitive by developing their innovative capacity and opening up to new markets.
